I am registered Cherokee, and have a lsdas gpa of 3.61 (in business). I had an extreme anxiety attack in June when I took the LSAT(now medicated) and scored 159. I just retook the LSAT and am nervous. I was PTing between 169 and 171 but I get very nervous on test day.

What schools am I looking at with my June score. What if I at least pulled off 165?

Thanks so much for the help, Im really working myself into a frenzy as I go over my essays and recommendations.

I'm NA my undergrad was 3.3 I got a 159 was reseved at Columbia until august(I will note that I do have petty cool soft for what it matters), Just sayin' that 3.61 is awesome if you get 165 you should go no lower then T-6

No disrespect, but is it just me or did pretty much ALL Natives get reserve at Columbia? (myself included).

First of all, (as I am sure OP is aware) don't think that simply box checking is going to get you that substantial of a "boost" if you can't supplement it with significant cultural involvement and/or interest in pursing Native law or scholarship at the law school (especially schools with active NALSA chapters, like Columbia) in your PS or diversity statement.

With that said, I scored between 155-157 and got into multiple T-14s (3.7X GPA). So APPLY EVERYWHERE (and apply as soon as possible). For real, there are so few Natives in the T-14 it makes me sad. But I agree that getting over 165 will certainly lock things down.
